In case you haven’t heard by now, Crayola released Colors of The World products which allows every child to feel included and accurately color using the different skin tones of the world. And one company wants to help bring these products to classrooms across the nation.
In fact, Teachers And Educators Can Receive Free Colors of The World Crayons. Here’s How.
How Teachers Can Receive Free Crayons
The Crayon Project is a non-profit organization that was founded by Beth Ann and Kevin to focus on the small act of buying multicultural crayons, markers and colored pencils for schools and non-profit organizations they were familiar with within their local community.
Now they are expanding their reach and giving teachers and educators across the nation a chance to receive these projects.
All you need to do is head over to The Crayon Project Care Project Request Form and complete it.
Once you submit your request form, a team of volunteers reviews the submission and awards schools and non-profit organizations upon review. Should you be selected, they’ll be in touch so be sure to provide your best contact email!
Isn’t this just amazing?
The best part is, there is no cost to a school or organization! Thankfully, all care packages are paid for in full thanks to the generosity of donors to The Crayon Project giving teachers access to these amazing products at no cost.
Make sure you spread the word to all the educators in your life!
I once taught a beautiful black girl who used to draw herself as white with blonde hair and blue eyes. I asked her to tell me about her picture and she said it’s how she wanted to look. I was working at a predominately white school. This broke my heart. I never want another child to feel this.
It says the application process is closed for the Crayon Projects.
That breaks my heart, too! I am so glad that Crayola came out with this amazing crayon line to include every child!
Thank you for letting us know, Stephanie!
I work in Childcare and would love these for our Children as they love to colour in
Hi, Annalisa! Aren’t these amazing?!
I teach in a Title 1 school. In my classroom, I have many different races. When they have to draw a picture of themselves, they often say, I colored myself their way because I don’t have my color.
I would like to know how to get these crayons for my grandson’s school. It’s a small school with a wonderful staff and a multi ethnic, culturally diverse population. I’m sure they would greatly appreciate these materials. Art and music are a part of the regular curriculum. Thank you in advance.
I would love some of these , I have a very diverse , multicultural setting even a a childminder.
Hi, Ruth! Here is the link to more info!https://thecrayonproject.org/
I am a kindergarten teacher and every day we color and create my children are the league of three races: American, Indian and Spanish. Which is felt in the color of the skin. When they take self-portraits it is difficult for them to identify the color that goes with their skin. Many of them are colored yellow, black or brown.
I think this initiative is excellent as it promotes the multiculture found in our classroom.
We have a small school with children with roots all around the world. These colours would be a blessing for self images.
That’s wonderful! We just love this crayon line!
Yes, it is so important for all kids to be included!
I would like some however I am in Canada. It seems to not allow me to purchase any or put in my address. If you can ship to Ontario please let me know what I need to do
I you can’t find them, Walmart and Target have been selling these products for years. Try looking there.
What a great idea! It’s just what we need in our multicultural communities.
Awesome idea
Right?! We love this!
